National competition may be only months away

The sport is in its very early stages, but the success of today's match means a push is already on for it to be nationally recognised as an official wheelchair sport.

The aim is to develop a national competition.

"We need to have a look at these fanatical AFL fans — we have plenty in the navy, army and air force — that can't play as a full-bodied member anymore," Brigadier Hall said.

"What we want to do is give them an opportunity to play it as a wheelchair sport."

That opportunity may come as soon as next year, with South Australia, Victoria, and Tasmania already interested in getting involved in such a competition, which would also feature teams from the Solider Recovery Centre.

If it is a game you would like to see more of, you can let the national body for wheelchair sports know on Twitter at @DisSportsAus.
